um.....a potato isn't any of those. A saccharide is a sugar, and a monosaccharide is one sugar that is not bonded, such as galactose, glucose, or fructose (which are the three main monosaccharides, and are isomeric). A disaccharide is two monosaccharides bonded together, usually using dehydration synthesis. An example would be maltose, which is C12H24O12, or two glucose molecules. A polysaccaride is a lot of monosaccharides bonded together such as starch. So a potato is none of those.
What else can I help you with?
Is fructose a monosaccharide polysaccharide or disaccharide?
Fructose is a monosaccharide.
Is glycogen a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide?
Glycogen is a polysaccharide.
Is starch a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide?
Starch is a polysaccharide.
What are the three basic structures of a carbohydrate?
Monosaccharide , Disaccharide, Polysaccharide
What would provide the body with most energy?
breaking the bonds in a disaccharide/ polysaccharide
Is isomaltose a mono- di- or polysaccharide?
Isomaltose is a disaccharide, meaning it is composed of two monosaccharide units (glucose molecules) joined together.
Do the potato and onion plants store carbohydrates in different forms?
Yes.. Onions store carbohydrates as glucose(monosaccharide), fructose(monosaccharide), and sucrose(disaccharide), while potatoes store carbohydrates as starch(a polysaccharide chain of multiple glucose molecules).Hope this helps. :-)
What do complex carbohydrates breakdown into?
simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more
Explain the difference between disaccharide and a polysaccharide?
a disaccharide is two monosaccharides. and a polysaccharide is a long chain of monosaccharides joined together. they are units of carbohydrates.
What monosaccharide is starch composed of?
Starch is a polysaccharide, not a disaccharide, as it is a polymer of many sugar units. A disaccharide would contain just two units (for example, sucrose).
Is deoxyribose a monosaccharide a disaccharide or a polysaccharide?
Deoxyribose is a monosaccharide, meaning it is a single sugar unit. It is a component of DNA molecules, where it forms the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA structure.
What do monosaccharide and monosaccharide makes?
Two monosaccharides bond together through a dehydration reaction to form a disaccharide. Water is released during this process. For example, glucose + fructose forms the disaccharide sucrose.
